Undergraduate programmes
Applications for Undergraduate Programmes should be made through UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). Applicants currently at school or college will be provided with advice on the process. Applicants who have left school or who are based outside the United Kingdom can obtain information directly from UCAS.
Please ensure you've read the guidelines and entry requirements for the programme you wish to apply for before submitting your application. Please return to the Undergraduate Programme page to revisit the programme overview and entry requirements.

Graduate research programmes
If you are applying for Graduate Research Programmes, you will submit your application directly to the central admissions team at UCL. Please ensure you have read the programme guidelines and entry requirements before submitting your application. Formal applications for Graduate Research Programmes are made via the central UCL admissions pages but we require interested applicants to apply to the department before applying via UCL Select. The application form should be completed in consultation with your preferred supervisor.
The deadline is the first Monday in December for entry in September the following year.
Before completing the application form you should have:
- Thought carefully about why the Institute of the Americas provides the logical institutional home for your research.
- Identified a preferred supervisor and had some initial (and positive) contact with them. For a list of potential supervisors see our academic staff page. Please note, Lecturer (Teaching) posts are not able to supervise PhD students at present.
- Contacted your preferred supervisor. Do this as early as possible so that they can work on your research proposal with you.
- Checked UCL entry requirements information, which also includes information about English language requirements.
Should you have any general questions about the process, please contact the Department Graduate Tutor, Professor Gareth Davies.
